xia falconx: start/stop time
It seems that a ct(1) with 3 FX modules (18 elements) takes about 4s, including:
- ~0.5s to start
- 1s count time
- ~2s to stop when in MAPPING mode (mode set by bliss when triggermode = GATE)
FYI start_run and stop_run will still take ~0.5s each with an 18 elements in MCA mode.
Nothing life threatening I guess, just annoying.
I had the same problem in SPEC, I just ended up not stopping the run between ct (started in mapping mode with a 1 pixel buffer, and not stopping after a ct). Maybe something similar can be worked out in bliss (just stopping/restarting the run if the number of points is > 1).
